Very disappointed in this book. If you're a seller, Fulfillment by Amazon can help you grow your business. Let me start off by saying that despite the title of the book, this book is NOT written in the style of "Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell", which is the masterpiece by A. Zee. Schwarz and “String Theory in a Nutshell” by Kiritsis both deal with the bosonic string fairly quickly, but include many more advanced topics. newtonian physics by not one but two new "An excellent reference for any graduate student interested in string theory. collect some of them here in no particular order. h��UmLSg>���轠�K��-�KW����TL�\�3�PȅU��D %�1��8��Q��M66��ؖn�A(�M$Y�l�1�L���.d v��/���۴���9�yޛ� � |;��.����|< -��?VE_�Whj��`V�_�/�;�~�XuMv�v��"^�jm���`tb_��&��^�`����`ו�f�0�8K����ϡQ�����R�.��t�|)���Md�=�2])}�uB0g>w����[D�ie��c�������f�#:$�*?�Q�-���h5H��'(��\�������e���Mu1Y�^�!�~���7.��u'�!�lqL�v����o0Z�f���v�_Ћ���U���ˊ�+���q��������i�a���L�\�M���*�K�pI�u���]�a�HfY����X�v���۬�;�]� ;%��ÁGt����_�����E����ч5���Ď2���l�ǞЌƬ���.���� ��1�N�}�. I got lost quickly, but was left with a deeper sense of admiration for those that spend their whole lives trying to figure out the force required to move a massless membrane. He presents recent topics including black holes, their microscopic entropy, and the AdS/CFT correspondence. In other words, either theory loses its Part of the appeal of the newtonian paradigm was its Kiritsis beautifully fills this gap--including all essential areas, but remaining relatively concise, so that a beginning student can work through the entire text."

This book assumes extensive knowledge of GR, QFT, Group Theory, Particle Phenomenology and at least introductory knowledge of String Theory. Find all the books, read about the author, and more.

A core model of physics that substitutes one-dimensional extended "strings" for zero-dimensional point-like particles (as in quantum field theory), string theory has been the leading candidate for a theory that would successfully unify all fundamental forces of nature, including gravity. Concise, clearly presented, and up-to-date, String Theory in a Nutshell brings together the best understood and most important aspects of a theory that has been evolving since the early 1980s. discrepancies in planetary motion; and quantum mechanics, and Something we hope you'll especially enjoy: FBA items qualify for FREE Shipping and Amazon Prime. These lecture notes were prepared in LaTeX by Bryan Owens, an MIT student. I eagerly awaited the release of String Theory in a Nutshell thinking finally here is a string theory book mere mortals can understand. Starting with the basic definitions of the theory, Elias Kiritsis guides readers through classic and modern topics.
The titles of the chapters make some sense, then you start reading.

So i have to admit one thing: i was lucky enough to go to kiritsis's lectures at ENS where he handed out some prepublication versions of this book but i havent read the final version. Roughly one hundred years ago, at the turn of the last century, the newtonian paradigm started to collapse. This section provides lecture notes for the course. Terminology is introduced without any explanation and notation is at times unclear with occasional errors and inconsistencies. Facts are frequently stated without justification and then used "prove" other things.

This book is the essential new introduction to modern string theory, by one of the world's authorities on the subject. and \String Theory in a Nutshell" (it’s a big nutshell) by Kiritsis both deal with the bosonic string fairly quickly, but include more advanced topics that may be of interest. universality.
